ABL GROUP HOLDING LIMITED
ABL Group Holding Limited is a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 08334221, incorporated on 17 December 2012. The company is in active status, with its registered office at 1st Floor, The Northern & Shell Building, 10 Lower Thames Street, London, EC3R 6EN, as recorded by Companies House.
The company was originally incorporated as Aqualis Offshore Ltd. It was renamed AqualisBraemar Holding Ltd on 30 July 2019, following its Norwegian parent’s acquisition of Braemar Technical Services, and adopted its current name, ABL Group Holding Limited, on 2 March 2022. Its registered Standard Industrial Classification code is 82990, "other business support service activities not elsewhere classified," consistent with its role as a UK holding company rather than a directly trading operating entity.
Companies House filings show ABL Group Holding Limited as a wholly owned UK subsidiary within an international energy, marine and engineering consultancy group. That group’s ultimate parent is a Norwegian public limited company, registration number 913757424, which has traded successively as Aqualis ASA, AqualisBraemar LOC ASA and ABL Group ASA, and which readopted the name Aqualis ASA on Euronext Oslo in June 2026. The parent has been listed on Oslo Bors, now Euronext Oslo, since 2014, most recently under ticker AQUA (ISIN NO0010715394). Operating through brands including ABL, AGR, OWC and Longitude Engineering, the group describes itself as providing consultancy services spanning renewables, maritime and oil and gas project lifecycles, from feasibility through decommissioning, across around 77 offices in 43 countries with more than 2,000 employees group-wide, according to the parent company’s own website. These figures relate to the consolidated group and should not be read as reported operating figures of ABL Group Holding Limited itself. Companies House filing history indicates the company files abbreviated accounts consistent with a non-trading holding entity, with accounts most recently made up to 31 December 2024; detailed financial figures for the entity on a standalone basis are not separately published.

Shareholders of ABL Group Holding Limited
ABL Group Holding Limited has one disclosed shareholder on record, per the Zavia.ai shareholder register verified 17 September 2026: Aqualis ASA (recorded in the underlying filing under its former name, AqualisBraemar LOC ASA), a Norwegian public limited company, holding the entire issued ordinary share capital of 6,998,734 ordinary shares of USD 1.00 each, representing 100% of shares and voting rights. This is a direct holding, recorded in the parent’s own name rather than through a disclosed intermediary.
This is corroborated by the company’s Persons with Significant Control filing at Companies House, which separately records a PSC named "Aqualis Asa" (Norwegian company registration number 913757424, registered with the Bronnoysund Register Centre, Norway), notified as PSC on 6 April 2016, holding 75% or more of shares and voting rights and the right to appoint or remove directors. That PSC filing has not been updated to reflect the parent’s later name changes, to AqualisBraemar LOC ASA in 2019 and ABL Group ASA in 2022, and back to Aqualis ASA in June 2026, but the matching registration number confirms it is the same Norwegian legal entity as the 100% shareholder.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Aqualis ASA (Norwegian company registration number 913757424) is disclosed as the direct 100% shareholder and as the person with significant control, via ownership of 75% or more of shares and voting rights. Aqualis ASA is itself a publicly listed company on Euronext Oslo (ticker AQUA, ISIN NO0010715394), so its own beneficial ownership is dispersed among public shareholders rather than held by a single identifiable individual. No natural-person ultimate beneficial owner is disclosed for ABL Group Holding Limited beyond its listed corporate parent.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for ABL Group Holding Limited is Full: the single shareholder and its complete shareholding are disclosed via the confirmation statement dated 17 September 2026 and corroborated by the Companies House PSC register notified 6 April 2016. Because the ultimate parent is a listed company, further beneficial ownership rests with its public shareholder base rather than an identifiable individual UBO.
